Thursdays are rough, man. Way too much on TV and barely enough time to fit it all in, never mind have time to write about it all at once. I liked the post I did yesterday using this same format, so I thought I’d give it another shot and — who knows? — make it […]

Mercy is far from a perfect show, but I am enjoying it so far. Michelle Trachtenberg plays naivete probably better than anyone on the planet.  Jaime Lee Kirchner’s character still needs a bit more rounding out, but I like Sonia’s style. And frankly, I’m way into Taylor Schilling’s Veronica Callahan. Well, all except for one […]

I pointed out in my review of Community‘s premiere, that one of the things I liked was how they didn’t use standard sitcom conventions, such as using meaningful looks to convey a conversation and come to a decision between characters.

Something about this feels just plain sacrilegious, but I really didn’t find the latest episode of The Office to be funny. And the main culprit was the new managerial dynamic. I think the redundancy, as well as the inside glance into Michael’s processes, were supposed to play comically, but it all just fell really flat […]

The best laid plans of mice and men — and angels, apparently — often go awry. That’s what we saw this week, as Zachariah’s latest attempt to get Dean to see the light didn’t quite work out how he planned. He taught Dean a lesson alright, but not the one which he intended. Instead, his […]

Bones has been flirting (pun certainly intended) with the Tempe and Seely relationship for a while now. They’ve got great chemistry, which is honestly one of the best parts of the show (and probably my favorite pairing on television). Somewhere along the way, the heart of the show became the big “will they/won’t they” question […]

Sure, I did a little bit of whining in last week’s post about Grey’s Anatomy‘s “ripped from the ER-scriptroom” approach with this whole merger business, with reason; it’s not the first time Grey’s has seemingly borrowed from the medical show gold standard. We even already had a preexisting tag called “grey’s anatomy rip-off er” before […]
